The /r/videos mods are going all out and someone made this lovely graphic to explain why subs are going dark next week.

While I’d love to have my users on Lemmy, I also hope that this actually does something for Reddit and they reverse course on their planed changes.

I don't intend on going back to Reddit. I'm tired of mega corporations thinking that they own my data.

I think for me it’s going to be hit or miss. Right now I’m on this more, but it doesn’t have a lot of the content I’m interested in currently.

[-] Mac@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Totally understand. But the only solution for a lack of content is creating some ourselves. A community of lurkers will have no content to lurk on.

Oh, I've been creating a lot of tech content, like my old days on Reddit. These days I mostly lurk on LGTQ subreddits though and idk how the Lemmy community feels about that (not that I have much to post in that regards anyways, link/forum wise)

That's great! What content are you missing from Reddit?

[-] GhostMagician@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

/r/buildapc and /r/buildapcforme. Has been helpful to get a general idea of what parts to get and feedback on if the build is balanced for what the user intends.

/r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, /r/consoledeals are other ones. There's sites like isthereanydeals and pcpartpicker, but those subs have come in helpful for catching deals I would have missed.

(not op but) I primarily used reddit as a collective watchdog. If something of import was happening, it would be on the front page rapidly.

It's how I found out it became legal for me to marry in 2012, and it's how I found out it became legal to kill me in Florida in 2023.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
